[Music] with the breakout of the coronavirus and many conspiracy theories between the virus and 5g technologies it is hard not to have heard about this technology 5g is the 5th generation infrastructure standard for broadband wireless networks cellular phone carriers started introducing this internationally in 2019 and is the expected counterpart and future replacement to the 4g networks that link most existing cell phones in this video we will talk about the impact that this revolutionary technology will have on society if this is your first time watching us we produce many of these type of tech videos so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our future videos number one smart cities i would guess this is not the first time you've heard about smart cities what's going on with this type of city will blow your mind for instance according to the national league of cities two-thirds of u.s jurisdictions have invested in smart city infrastructure san diego for example implemented intelligent lighting systems that dim automatically while no one is in the vicinity saving about two million dollars in annual energy costs that is a lot of money saved who could have thought that so much money was wasted just from public lighting 36 000 street lights in pittsburgh are being replaced with leds that have sensor to track air quality san francisco registered a 35 drop in instances where shots were fired after adding gunshot detecting microphones in high crime zones cities will be able to process data from millions of iot or internet of things devices and add low power sensors that will last for years without being replaced if they upgrade to 5g this would boost their ability to intelligently control traffic flow air quality energy use and public safety among other concerns according to a 2017 accenture strategy survey cities could save 160 billion by using 5g networks to handle traffic and electricity brilliant ideas for these cities right number two access to home real-time internet amit kolkarni director of engineering for honeywell's building technology company said 5g is a game changer 5g encompasses a wide range of radio frequencies according to amit some frequencies for example would allow long-range communication within a house this for example would allow wireless sensors and actuators to be linked for building automation high-frequency signals allow for pinpoint location precision and high bandwidth applications such as 4k and even 8k video streaming imagine that feeling of 8k video live video streaming game changer indeed continuously monitoring video capture devices would be able to produce high quality video in real time additionally sensors that detect occupancy and indicate the need for lighting or air conditioning will work way more quickly network slicing is another feature for latest wireless technologies this virtualizes the 5g infrastructure so that many devices can share it a building control system for example can share a network with a critical fire system simply put firefighters will be in your house or have an idea of dangers within your home in real time the bandwidth and warning latency requirements of both devices will be met number three autonomous cars and flying will 5g be the infrastructure that propels self-driving vehicles and drones into the mainstream well i think this very much could be possible it's also been dubbed the oxygen of self-driving vehicles by others 5g will connect to other cars individuals houses and streetlights in ways that 4g does not due to its speed and capacity to compute in real time our vehicles would be connected in real time communicating and coordinating our movements relatively better than we can this could lead to the development of faster smarter and cleaner cars that can reroute themselves quickly predict arrival times prevent collisions and keep our streets secure of course all of this is predicated around the premise of using the internet of things to create more innovative more wired communities along with drone flight patterns if the internet of things or the idea to have everything in your house from fridge to mattress connected excites you type iot in the comment section and we will do a special video about it just for you number four management of the supply chain given the importance of the internet of things in the industrial field it stands to reason that 5g and its capacity to link and collaborate across a diverse community of connected things would help the whole supply chain this would result in even greater efficiencies and clarity for consumers both of which are digital transformation priorities number five augmented reality and immersive gaming this is one for our gamers outside of the corporate world i think the gaming industry is more excited than anyone else about the arrival of 5g its pace will allow the creation of fully immersive real-time gaming free of the technological glitches and lags that plague online games and esports 5g plans to reduce latency to a millisecond nearly instantaneous by sometime in 2021 it would allow the development of even more and better augmented reality blurring the boundaries between actual and artificial facts and worlds even more instead of arriving in unexpected places in the material world pokemon will travel about and interact with real-time locations number six telemedicine digital visits provided by low latency 4k quality wireless networks can make trips to the doctor's office as rare as house calls wearable or embedded electronic equipment can collect and relay vital signs enabling health care providers to monitor early warning signs of heart attacks strokes and other life-threatening incidents telesurgery will be possible thanks to high-speed wireless networks which will enable experts in one hospital to monitor instruments in another one hundreds of miles away the day could be approaching that day may be closer than you think in january a surgeon in china successfully removed part of a pig's liver from about 30 miles away using a 5g connection number 7 smarter factories we've clearly been innovating factories for a long time as humans a lot has been said about it especially when it relates to the internet of things ushering in a modern industrial revolution however with 5g technology being 100 times faster than 4g and 10 times faster than high-speed broadband the future is our oyster when it comes to designing new factory models qualcomm for example is partnering on the 5g innovators project with honeywell ge and ericsson to build a new blueprint for the factory of the future again 5g allows for the advancement of new products not just enhancing existing ones a true excitement into the future of work in factories that's all for today which of these features do you find the most exciting let us know in the comments section below thanks for watching and see you next time
